I have been wondering why nobody mentions single shot rifles for long range precision shooting. (LRPS) It would seem to me that a weapon like the Ruger No. 1 or the TC single shot rifle, I think it is the Encore, would do a very nice job. Aren't falling block actions supposed to be very strong, reliable, and accurate due to the simplicity?
Also isn't the motto "One shot one kill." It seems to me that a repeating rifle only increases the temptation to take multiple shots and increase the likelihood of your position being discovered. A handgun, or submachine gun could be carried for use in the event that things really get hot.
On the otherhand I think I have heard something about the No. 1 not extracting rimless cartiges reliably. Is this a real problem, or just a story?
So tell me what you all think?
One other question. Will that little cheap NEF handi-rifle hit mansized targets at 300+ yds? I am wanting to get into LRPS as soon as possible and don't have that much money to work with. As in not more than $250, is it possible?
